Using iTunes in the Classroom

Screen_shot_2011-12-07_at_9.22.00_AM.png


Would you like to help create a certain atmosphere in your classroom using music?

Maybe you'd like a quiet classical piece playing during independent work time,

or some lively music to get things rolling during group work? With iTunes downloaded on your

computer and your classroom audio system, you're almost ready to get started. Next, you'll need an iTunes

account. We'll walk you through each of the steps to start using iTunes in the Classroom.


  • First, check to see if iTunes is already downloaded onto your computer.

  • If it's not, use the link below to download iTunes onto your computer.

Creating an iTunes Account with or without Using Your Credit Card Information


You can set up an iTunes account either with or without entering your credit card information. We've linked

information below to show you how to do it both ways. If you plan on purchasing music (usually .99 - 1.29 per song),

then you will want to choose the setup using a credit card. If you plan on only searching for free content in iTunes,

such as free apps and podcasts, then there is a way for you to create an account without entering your credit card information.

Once you have iTunes installed on your computer and an iTunes account (Be sure to keep track of your Apple ID and Password),

you're ready to find music and other content in the iTunes Store to begin using in your classroom. Here are some video tutorials to help you see how to do that.
